Con & Con's E-Base gadget charging station

Italian design firm Con & Con looks to be trying to do its part to reduce cable clutter and keep the mod hope alive at the same time, catering to the retro set with its E-Base charging/organizing station. The E-Base itself doesn't actually do any of the charging, however, instead simply providing a not-so-discreet hiding place for your power bar and as many gadget-related cables you can stuff inside its brightly-colored shell. Although if the day-glo orange look isn't your thing, you can also get the E-Base in a more subdued black/gray combo, each standing 23-inches high and setting you back $180.
